SUMMARY:
Released by Marvel Comics for April 2005, Spider-Man’s first encounter with Storm & Rogue is entitled “Change the Weather.” Seeking some downtime, the X-Men’s Storm rescues in mid-air a malfunctioning helicopter outside New York City. Meanwhile, Spider-Man intervenes to help a mysterious young girl (who’s probably in her early teens) from a brewing altercation in a city park. Courtesy of her baseball cap, Spidey nicknames the mostly non-talkative kid ‘St. Louis.’
Inadvertently discovering the transient girl’s power-siphoning mutant abilities, Spider-Man & Storm are temporarily affected. It’s then up to the two heroes to find the future Rogue before she uses their stolen powers for some payback against the bullies harassing her.
REVIEW:
Meant for the early elementary school crowd, this simplistic tale is harmless fun. The art team’s visuals are surprisingly well-produced, particularly the likable cover image. Marvel Age: Spider-Man Team-Up # 5 makes a reliable option for younger Spider-fans.
ADDITIONAL CONTENT:
None.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 6 Stars
